I woke up feeling very down and out. I'm not happy where my addiction took me and made me become. I really feel hurt that the people I love and care about really don't give a dam about me or what I'm going through. It made me feel theirs no-one to trust, and im really alone and not just in this process but my whole life. Thanks for allowing me to share where I am in this process.

Hi Porshia, I have felt the way you're feeling. I know it can seem scary and dark, but the good news that I discovered is I can start over. I didn't have a family that loved me, so that I can find my own. I can reach out of my limits and welcome others into my fold. I'm grateful not to have been restricted to the confines of a traditional family.
We love because we have love to give, we are good to others not because they deserve it, but because it's who we are. Still, do not forget that your compassion is incomplete if it doesn't include you. That means being selfish sometimes! Don't be afraid to get in touch with the person inside you, make her smile today. Go for a walk, find something beautiful, take yourself out for a specially made coffee, eat junk food and play a game on your phone, listen to an uplifting song while you stretch and breathe deep. Spend time reading quotes and writing them down.
We have a lot more time for ourselves in sobriety, and that was scary at first, but now it's my favorite thing 
I hope you find something that makes you smile today.
